White Clematis (Yellow Challenge)

White Clematis (Yellow Challenge)
Comments

I found just yellow to be impossible without any darks and you've done well Thea. The white flower sits well against the yellow background but hopefully you're going to suggest another colour combination...please...LOL

This really is a difficult one Thea, who would have thought it? Do like how you've painted this though, it works well. I've spent all morning doing a yellow collage which I'd thought might be easier, it wasn't! Must tackle the ironing now!

Delightful Thea a tough challenge addressed

You've managed very well, Thea. I like the interaction of the hard and soft edges, the delicate washes and the simple elegance of the piece. Lovely work!

Another great idea, painting in the negative! Lovely Thea.

Works really well, I'm not a fan of yellow either but this contrasts nicely against the white flower, well thought out, I'd better have a go before you change the challenge again, I can't keep up lol!!

Thank you very much Louise, Christine, Dennis, Seok, Carole and Debs for your lovely comments. I'll post the next one very soon - it's a very iffy, but it is definitely YELLOW!!

Nice one. The negative painting works really well. So much said with so little!

That is so effective Thea and you've portrayed the delicate petals of the clematis so well with your clever negative painting.

Great use of negative painting Thea!

Thank you very much Gudrun, Bill, Val and Fiona - lovely comments which make it all worthwhile.

The yellow challenge is the hardest of them all I think as it is hard to achieve darks in the way that you can with greens and blues. I did three last night with varying degrees of success and this is my first attempt.

I am a watercolourist first and foremost as I love the qualities of the medium, its riskiness and unpredictability. I started painting about 8 years ago and it has now become an integral part of my life. Hopefully, I will continue to paint into my dotage as I am given to understand that you can…
